UAE: Imports must be now attested by MoFAIC.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation (MoFAIC) has announced that all imports into the UAE must be accompanied by a MoFAIC-attested invoice, effective from February 1, 2023.

The decision is based on cabinet resolution no. 38 for 2022 regarding the fees for attestation of documents, invoices, and certificates of origin for imports into the Country.

A fixed fee of Dhs150 will be levied by the MoFAIC for the attestation of invoices related to imports amounting to Dhs10,000 or more in the country’s representative missions abroad, MoFAIC’s offices, branches of banks operating in the country or through local customs.

The MoFAIC will levy a fee of Dhs2,000 for attesting commercial documents and a fee of Dhs150 for each of personal status documents, copies of attested certificates and invoices, certificates of origin, manifests, and any other documents.

MoFAIC will also impose an administrative fine of Dhs500 on individuals who fail to attest certificates of origin and invoices for imported goods after 14 days from the date of entry of the goods into the UAE.

More fines will be imposed in case of repeated violations and will be transferred to the Treasury Single Account.

Each interested party may submit a written grievance to the Ministry against the administrative fine that was imposed on him within 15 days from the date of notification, provided that the grievance is justified and accompanied by all supporting documents.

This grievance will be decided on within 30 days from the date of submission in line with the procedures in force at the MoFAIC.

GLOSSARY

LAWFUL BASIS

Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.

EXTERNAL THIRD PARTIES

Service providers acting as processors based in the United Kingdom who provide IT and system administration services, including billing.
Professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors, agents and insurers based in the United Kingdom or abroad.
Professional advisers acting as legal representatives of counterparties.
HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities and agencies acting as processors or joint controllers based in the United Kingdom or abroad who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
